![]() Last month all year 9 students participated in an Othello Dress up and Act Day. The main outcome of the day was for us to experience how the characters might dress and act on stage. It was a very valuable experience for all of year 9. We memorised a short (30-second-long) part of the play and performed it in-front of the whole class and we had to make/find a costume for our chosen characters. Memorising the lines was quite difficult, as the language is very different to modern English, and performing was even harder! However, it gave us a deeper understanding of Othello and a closer glimpse of how it would look on stage. Personally, I learned a lot from this experience and it gave me an idea of how the play would look like on stage. It also taught me how to perform with more confidence and find the true meaning behind Shakespeare’s intentions in his writing. Furthermore, teamwork was crucial, it gave me a chance to work with new people and make new friends. Although it was quite difficult at the start, it turned into a very fun and amusing project to work on. Finding a costume was enjoyable as we had to use our imagination. This experience has allowed me to enjoy English literature and Shakespearean plays. Celia Yeung - Year 9B
